When a patient develops flat warts on the face, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Sun protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Use an umbrella or apply sunscreen when going outdoors to prevent skin damage from ultraviolet radiation and reduce the risk of infection. 2. Skin care: Keep the skin clean and avoid using irritating skincare products or cosmetics. Do not scratch the affected area to prevent skin damage and subsequent infection. 3. Dietary management: Maintain a healthy diet. Avoid spicy, greasy, or irritating foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins to aid skin recovery. 4. Follow medical advice for treatment: Strictly adhere to the doctor's treatment plan, take medications on time and in the correct dosage. Avoid self-medicating to prevent compromising treatment effectiveness or worsening the condition. 5. Regular follow-ups: Flat warts may recur, so patients should attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor changes in their condition and adjust the treatment plan under the doctor's guidance. 6. Mental state and作息 (rest schedule): Maintain a positive mindset and avoid excessive emotional stress. Ensure sufficient sleep and avoid staying up late to enhance immunity and promote recovery.
